Student arrested on Florida high school campus with weapon | Lockdown lifted
A student at a Florida high school was arrested after bringing a weapon on campus, sparking the second Sunshine State school lockdown in as many days.
According to police, a social media post Friday morning showed an unidentified student with a gun. That prompted a Code Red alert and a large police response to Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs.
The lockdown was lifted shortly before 10 a.m., with a student in custody.
